What are themes?

A theme changes how Firefox looks. A theme could simply change the toolbar's background colors or the buttons' appearance, but some themes can make Firefox look like a completely different program.

There are two types of themes available for Firefox:

Background themes - lightweight themes that can change the color scheme and background image of the Firefox toolbars.

Complete themes - more customizable than background themes, but larger to download.
